No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autmnal face....
Many people see it as the dying days
I see it as New Beginnings for Mother Earth to raise...
She looks upon you with such grace
I will never forget Autumn's face....
The one day that I saw such beauty
Something only imagined in a movie...
The Orange and Red leaves to symbol Truth and Love
The Brown dead leaves represent hatred we are guilty of...
Notice that the brown may at times outnumber all the red
That is only to remind us that the World is growing dead...
The only way to make autumn as Red and Orange as it comes
Is to treat people kind, and see the inner beauty we are all from...
No Spring nor Summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal Face....

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace

I regret to say this, but you will need to remove your entry from the August contest. This contest is strictly for new members that have joined in the month of August, or July 31st. You joined the site on July 25th. If you haven’t already, you still have time to enter into the July contest for new members.

This piece definitely sheds beauty on autumn, and gives credit to the picture. The rhyming was okay for the most part, but the meter was a bit unsteady.
There's one very important thing I'd like to point out. I don't think you were supposed to use that quote from John Donne in your poem. However, you did, and if you'd like to keep it you need to give credit to John Donne in your author's comment section. This prevents plagiarism, which is against site policies.
If you need any help with that, feel free to contact myself or any of the other greeters.
Thanks for entering, and best wishes in the contest.
Stacy
